Established more than a century ago, Nortel Networks has participated in major developments in the evolution of communications networks technology worldwide.

Nortel Networks are currently delivering networking and communications services and infrastructure for customers in more than 150 countries, including established carriers, new network operators, leading wireless service providers and enterprises.

P&C Communications are Nortel VPN specialists supplying and supporting the Nortel range of Alteon and Contivity VPN devices along with other types of networking hardware.

ALTEON

Nortel Networks Alteon SSL VPN gateway uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) as the underlying security protocol to provide truly unrestricted remote access through a web browser interface.

SSL is supported by virtually all Web servers and Web browsers, making it the de facto standard for securing Internet connections, and uses powerful application proxies to expand support beyond web applications to include legacy or custom client/server/mainframe software.

CONTIVITY

The Contivity range of secure gateways is a family of products delivering cost-effective secure IP services.

A single highly integrated hardware platform can provide IP routing, VPN, stateful firewall, encryption, authentication, policy and bandwidth management services from the same box.

The flexible software licensing systems allows businesses to upgrade IP services as required via a simple licence key without having to upgrade any hardware.
